> All processes using a database must be on the same host computer; WAL does not work over a network filesystem. This is because WAL requires all processes to share a small amount of memory and processes on separate host machines obviously cannot share memory with each other.

When market electricity prices are lower than the strike price for a CfD, electricity users end up paying the difference through the levy and when the market price is higher it reduces the amount levied. So for the renewable portion of UK electricity generation we effectively pay the fixed strike price of the CfD whatever the market price.

I recently tried AT&T fixed wireless which runs over the mobile network but it seems too congested to offer high speeds so ended up back with Comcast.

Nearby blocks have symmetrical GB fibre from Sonic but we only have shity 30MB up from Comcast.

Ethanol from sugarcane makes a lot more sense. Corn ethanol is just a wasteful subsidy for farmers paid for by drivers.

That has numbers of people in $2500 income intervals. Calculate people in interval * 1/(income/minutes per year) for each interval sum and divide by total with income and I get an average poverty of 49 minutes.

I think he might be using after tax income and may be calculating based on household income/household members or similar instead which would explain the discrepancy (since children don't work).

There is a huge mismatch between perception and data. I wonder whether some costs are just more pertinent?

Median workers in the US have some of the highest hourly wages at PPP in the rich world and they have been increasing, but they are pretty similar to those in Germany. The big difference in annual pay at PPP is down to hours worked.

For 2022 average annual hours worked per worker in the US is 1790 while in Germany it is 1340 [1]. Meanwhile average hourly wages at PPP in US are $34.9 vs $34.6 in Germany [2]

In California grid scale batteries have capital costs of around $125/kWh to $155/kWh while a home battery might be 20x that including installation.

I'm somewhat sceptical that used batteries will ever be worth much other than as scrap given the cost and complexity in testing, installing, and managing a mixed set of used batteries in larger installations.

With new batteries halving in price every 4 years or so the value of the raw materials in old NMC batteries alone should make it economical to sell for scrap and buy new batteries for stationary use cases after 10 years or so!

> Industry body Offshore Energy UK (OEUK) claims that more oil and gas could be extracted by 2050. However, the ‘High Case’ scenario for future production in a report for OEUK would still mean that 92% of production has already occurred.

...

> Compared to the maximum oil production that occurred in 1999, UK output in 2025 was 77% (over three-quarters) lower.
